Kerri's Tapioca Salad

Our daugther-in-laws family has made this for years. Some one seems to bring it along to every get together.


2 pkg. Tapioca pudding mix 1 - 8 oz.can mandarin oranges,
drained and reserved
1 - 3 oz. pkg. orange jello water
1 - 8 oz. can crushed pineapple,    
drained and reserved
9 oz. Cool Whip

Using the reserved juices combine adding water, if necessary, to make 3 cups liquid. Bring this to the boil. In a bowl combine the Tapioca mixes and jello. Pour boiling water/juice over, stirring to dissolve. Cool until slightly congealed. Fold in Cool Whip and fruit. Chill until serving time.
